Reviews for Shell Island Dolphin & Snorkeling Tour in Panama City Beach

My family and I had a great trip with our Captain.. got to swim with wild dolphins and see shell island and to top if off he took us to see sea turtles my favorite thing on this planet!! We will be back that's for sure

Probably the best tour out there. Saw so many dolphins and had a relaxing time on Shell island. Incredibly memorable! Thanks to our captain Hunter.

We had an amazing time on the salty fins private boat tour with Hunter! He was very knowledgeable about Shell Island and the dolphins, we got to see! Although the water was cold and the dolphins moved further out we had a blast! This was the best way to tour the waters and Shell Island!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re in Panama City Beach and looking to experience pristine waters, dolphins, snorkeling, or shell collecting, Salty Fins is an absolute must! Bryce, the owner and captain, went above and beyond our expectations. We were honestly both excited and nervous about taking our 6-month-old infant on a boat ride into the Gulf, but Bryce’s kindness, patience, and professionalism immediately put us at ease. We chose a private boat tour, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. He took us to crystal-clear waters where we got to see and play alongside dolphins—an unforgettable moment. At Shell Island, Bryce was incredibly thoughtful and even spent time helping our 8-year-old daughter collect shells, making her day truly special. These are moments we never expected when we booked the tour, but they made the experience magical for our entire family. If you’re looking for a family-friendly experience, especially with kids or infants, don’t think twice—Salty Fins with Bryce is 100% the way to go. Bryce, thank you for turning our Shell Island and dolphin tour into a lifetime memory. God bless you and your wife abundantly for your warmth, passion, and hospitality. Keep rocking in Panama City Beach, Florida! 🌊🐬

Did the dolphin tour today and Thomas was great!! Got to see some dolphins, snorkel at shell island and saw a few sea turtles!

Joshua was absolutely amazing. Went out of the way to show us sea turtles also helped us snorkel to find all different type of fish. Big crabs jellyfish dolphins shells got us a jellyfish to hold was very very nice. Very pleasing great great review.

Capt Hunter was great found dolphins and turtles when others where on cb saying hard to find, then to shell island to find shells and living sea creatures well worth it Thank You for making are anniversary week great Kurms

Josh is an amazing captain! He took the time to make sure our girls trip tour was AMAZING and memorable. He made several stops to ensure we saw dolphins, sea turtles, and more offering each stop for us to get in the water. He also took pictures for us. We all felt safe and comfortable the entire trip! We will definitely be back!!!

Hunter was very informative during our 2 hour trip! They were able to accommodate 2 late comers onto our boat with no issues! We saw dolphins and sea turtles, and got to snorkel at shell island!

Our captain, Josh was excellent! Per our request, he had a goal of showing us dolphins and boy did he ever deliver. We were able to view numerous dolphins up and close to our boat. It was almost as if they knew Josh was there and came right up to us. We also had a great time snorkeling at shell island. I would highly recommend.
